Selling Tips:

1. When people order through your club, they will save on ticketing fees. 2. Clubs have access to the best seats based on availability. Seats are on hold for

you and you can buy BEFORE the general public. 3. Gym Clubs receive an exclusive discount on tickets and the opportunity to save up

to $200 off tickets! 4. All-Session tickets include one ticket to all eight sessions - that means tickets on

average start as low as $13 per session. Promotional Ideas:

1. Posters

• Display the posters in high traffic areas including community events, area stores, schools, competitions, recreation centers, the lobby area in your gym, etc.

• Personalize the poster with your club information by printing labels with your gym club’s name, phone number, address, and website.

• Use the posters as a giveaway in your gym club (i.e. purchase tickets this week and be entered in a weekly drawing for the posters).

2. Incentives • Use the incentive tickets to raffle to gym club for a fundraiser or charity

event.
